BLOG TOUR: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE by MAXINE MORREY

 

You Only Live Once

When Lily’s husband dies, she moves to the edge of a tiny village, settling into a solitary life, her only real company her brother and his family. A quiet life becomes her safe space, with no risk of getting hurt.

When her brother offers her spare room to his oldest friend, Jack, Lily’s reluctant – but knowing how much she owes her family, can’t say no.

A lodger takes some getting used to but to her surprise, Lily begins to enjoy Jack’s company. Slowly but surely, Jack encourages Lily to step outside her comfort zone.

But taking risks means facing the consequences, and telling people how she really feels, means Lily might have to face losing them. But as the saying goes - you only live once - and being brave could mean Lily gets a second chance at love…

My Thoughts

The title of this book is what drew me to want to participate in this blog tour and of course read this book. After reading it though I would say it exceeded my expectations. Lily's story is one about starting over. As a wife of twelve years, I never stopped to think about what could possibly happen if my significant other is no longer there. In some ways Lily reminded me of myself. 

I fell in love with Jack immediately. His rugged , aristocratic charm really drew me more into the story. What was significant too was Clive. I am a dog lover and I never really stopped to think about how a pet can be a genuine companion. That aspect of the book was a nice touch indeed. 

This is my first time reading a book from this author and I must tell you that I would be looking to read more of her work in the future. I recommend this book for those who just want to read a good story. It was romantic, meaningful, lovely and most importantly well written.
